Gaia doesn't have to run on 100+ dollar items and marketplace GCash prices well in excess of the Cash Shop prices, either. Do we really need ten to twenty announcements a day that plug the Cash Shop and various GCash coupons and bargains, too? It's shamefully desperate marketing. :|
I get that Gaia is a business, and that the Cash Shop itself is a good thing, but business is, at its core, a ...Read Reply

You all remember how, several pages back, I posted this?
I hope the feature stays down, but I'm prepared to stop selling on the marketplace entirely if it does return. I refuse to put my items up for sale if there's any chance I could accidentally allow other users to buy them off me for GCash. My user store will never be a vehicle for inflation if I can help it.
I certainly do. As we all kn ...Read Reply

Well, Brennivin saving Cordell seems like a pretty good distraction if there ever was one. My guess is that Gino is going to use that to his advantage by getting a potshot in while Nyx's attention is diverted, assuming he isn't also dumbstruck by what's going on. I'm guessing this escalates into a tag team dog-pile where Nyx doesn't know who to keep his eyes on?
As for Zhivago: If the staff ...Read Reply

And true to my prediction, Cordell survives, thanks to the timely intervention of.... BRENNIVIN?
What? WHAT? WHHHHAAAAAT? OF ALL PEOPLE, BRENNIVIN?
... Ehhh huh? EHHH? NO SRSLY. Brennivin, of all people, comes to Cordell's aid? He has to be the one single character absolutely nobody could have predicted would be her savior.
Well played, Gaia. Well played.Read Reply

Several other people are expressing the same sentiments as I am. If enough people do decide their money would be better spent elsewhere and they informed Gaia of such, the staff would care. They'd care because they're still financially responsible to someone other than themselves, and I doubt their investors would be happy with them knowing their poor judgment alienated even more paying custom ...Read Reply

Hopefully, they actually give enough of a s**t to bother reading the official feedback thread - it's literally unanimously against this abomination of a feature, as in zero percent of the posters expressing any support for it. If not, I plan to hound them about this at the next several ATS threads with my shiny new signature.Read Reply

Just a friendly reminder to everyone in the thread accusing Gaia of deliberately mis-managing their own supposed solution to inflation:
Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by either stupidity or ignorance.Read Reply

I have seen and used many of your useful and praiseworthy features throughout the years, so I mean it with all my heart when I say that this is, indeed, a feature. Particularly useful and praiseworthy about it is the freedom you have given us, to choose whether we participate in this bold new move. Of all the ideas your economist has come up with to solve the problem of inflation, this is certainl ...Read Reply

Manga/NPCs?
Way, way back in the days of yore, nearly eight years ago, to be precise, Ian was revealed to have a long-lost younger brother we've all come to know and love over the years. Their father was a certain notorious vampire king who started a certain notorious war and, even more notoriously, fell like a house of cards when all was said and done. Now, since Ian is the oldest brother, as ...Read Reply

I'll lay y'all eight to five she survived the blast. Gaia has a history of pulling "sup dudebrahs that dood you like right there there is dead now, kthxbai, tune in five months later aaaand LOL NOPE, ALIVE, TROLLOLOLOLO" plot twists. Ian getting shot after the trial, for example, or the Von Helson sisters getting flattened by a skyscraper. Or, well... just about everyone that supposedly ...Read Reply

Sweet baby cheezus !!! THat is so EPIC !! Thank you , Thank you ! And it comes from a vampire !
Can i put this on the OP ?
Personally, I have no problems with that, but I want it noted for the record that I wasn't the creator of that diagram - another Gaian, Anabaena, was. I merely dug it up after reading the relevant parts of the OP, since I remembered it from the Outcast manga discuss ...Read Reply

Just to address the elephant in the room by dispensing blunt advice: Why'd you post this in GCD instead of Barton OOC? We're the community and manga storyline nerds, and this is a question about roleplaying etiquette. Asking us anything specific about roleplaying is probably going to yield about the same results as asking questions about the technical specs of your new toaster in the Avatar Arenas ...Read Reply
